<div class="PlainText">Hello, everyone.<br>
<br>
I built a light sheet microscopy followed as the openSPIM.<br>
But I got the images with high background as shown in the attachment.<br>
The exposure time is 80ms.<br>
The fluorescent beads, which are embedded in 6% PAGE gel, are in a cuvette.<br>
<br>
Will anyone know the reason for such high background?<br>
What can I do to reduce the background?<br>
<br>
Thank you so much.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Yan<br>
